Research the organisation

Learning as much as you can about the organisation you want to work for is important. You'll get an idea of what they're looking for in an employee, and researching the organisation will prove you’re serious about getting the job.

Use the internet, business or industry magazines and brochures to find out information.

Speak to anyone you might know who has or does work there.

Get ready for the employer’s questions

Review your CV, cover letter and application forms to remember the skills and experiences you shared.

Read the job description and think of questions the employer may ask.

Do an online search for common interview questions.

Prepare answers to possible questions. Even if you aren’t asked them, it will help you plan what skills and experiences to highlight.

Get your questions and evidence ready

Make sure you have questions ready to ask the employer as this shows you're interested in the organisation and the job. Your research can help you come up with some questions.

Prepare any evidence of your achievements to take to the interview such as a portfolio of your work.
